    I have a 1970 Ford Maverick and the gas tank is rusted out. I drove it all through high school and my dad and i just patched where it was rusted. But i think it is beyond repair now! So now I am looking for a gas tank to replace the old one. If anyone has one i could buy i would greatly appreciate it! I am in eastern Montana. phone number 406-939-2624
    Thank you

    you may want to get in touch with the guy on here his name is Matterick from this Thread http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=79434

    He found the Maverick boneyard out there in Montana somewhere. I know Montana is a big state but if you need a 70 gas tank this might be your opportunity....

    The tanks for the 1970 is different than all the other years as it drops in from the top.
